Pnar people
The Pnar, also known as Jaintia or Synteng, are a tribal group in Meghalaya, India. The Jaintias are matrilineal. == Etymology ==
The name "Pnar" is an endonym, while "Jaintia" and "Synteng" are exonyms (used by the outsiders).〔 The word "Jaintia" is derived from the name of a former kingdom, the Jaintia Kingdom, whose rulers were Syntengs. One theory says that the word "Jaintia" is ultimately derived from the name of the shrine of Jayanti Devi or Jainteswari, an incarnation of the Hindu goddess Durga. Another theory says that the name is derived via Synteng from ''Sutnuga'', a former settlement; the myth of Jayanti Devi was probably created after the Hinduisation of the Jaintia kingdom.〔
